Rode 3000mi with it, 30% at gravel/unpaved roads, at performed without issues.

Juan Carlos,

Doesn't the heat sink need air circulation to keep cool and prolong the life of the LED?


EDIT:

I was reading the specs of the LED you posted.

It has a built-in cooling fan:

" Higher Durability. ...... Integration of Built-in cooling fan (7,000RPM) for FASTER heat dissipation, 30% cooler than standard, ensuring secure temp range and last long lifespan up to 30,000hrs;"

Perhaps that is why it is not necessary to cut any holes in the headlight shell.
